I often talk about the importance of the mind in out of body experiences, firstly to set intention, and focus on that intention and while actually out of body to remain objective and in control. I have also spoken a lot about the heart and how it can act as a strong catalyst to bring about an OBE, as if you have a strong desire to connect to the beyond this desire can pull you into the beyond, it is not just ‘want’ it is something more. It is more like an extremely strong longing to connect to something you know is present somewhere within you, the path to that something is through your heart.
Combining these two aspects of who we are can create a powerful technique. Unfortunately we are used to separating everything, how we perceive the world, each other, the parts of our body, we don’t seem to be very good at unity, at least at the moment though things are changing.
The heart is very powerful, I felt its power once in an OBE where I could see and feel my heart chakra like a glowing engine full of power. Imagine being able to harness this power. We all have a heart so we all have this incredible power house, we only have to learn how to ignite it.
Our mind is also a powerful tool if we can learn to focus and not let it wander into the past and future beating ourselves up about the past and worrying about the future. Our point of power is the present and it is only from there that we can act.
Focusing our mind on our intention to experience an OBE while feeling a strong desire to connect to the beyond is powerful and it does require effort. The desire must be felt, it must not be the idea of a desire, I have called this ‘spiritual longing’ in the past, as mentioned earlier, it is a longing to reconnect to who you truly are, to your higher self, to the divine.
I don’t really like to call this a technique as the desire to reconnect to the divine is something not to be turned on and off, only to be used when we want to experience out of body travel. We should carry that feeling in our hearts as we carry on our everyday lives, who knows doing this may also have a positive effect on how we live too.
We have been taught over the years to perceive the world in a particular way, we live with blinkers on without seeing wider possibilities of life on Earth. Opening ourselves up, feeling that spiritual longing, that desire to connect to the divine, combined with the power of our minds, could take us many places including on incredible out-of-body experiences. Spiritual longing is a strong desire to experience who we truly are without the blinkers of our physical reality, one of the ways to do this is through out-of-body experiences. In one of my OBEs I experienced myself as the universe, I was everything, all was present, all was peaceful, it was incredible and defies description.
So let’s nurture our hearts and learn to control our minds, uniting the two, indeed uniting all our bits, so to speak.
A strong desire to grow beyond this physical reality can only take you one place and that is beyond the blinkers.
